About The Company
Founders today are building global companies from day one — but the systems that manage their money were built for a different era. Aspire exists to change that!
We’re building the financial operating system for global founders, bringing banking, software, and automation into a single platform so businesses can move faster across borders and stay focused on building.
Aspire is built by people who think from first principles, care deeply about solving hard problems, and take real ownership of their work. Our team brings global experience from leading fintech and technology companies, and many of us are former founders and operators who understand what it takes to build thoughtfully, make trade-offs, and deliver at scale in a global environment.
Backed by leading global investors including Y Combinator, Peak XV, and Lightspeed, Aspire has been trusted by more than 50,000 startups and growing businesses worldwide to manage their finances since 2018. Together with partners like J.P. Morgan, Visa, and Wise, we’re building for the next generation of global companies.
About The Role
As a Channel Partnerships Intern, you will be involved in developing and managing relationships with channel partners to drive sales and revenue. The ideal candidate will have experience in channel management, strong communication and interpersonal skills, and a deep understanding of the sales process.
This is a great opportunity for someone wanting to learn the dynamics of communication and relationship building, a bit of business development, and the sales process. At Aspire, we work to make a difference in our community with talented & motivated team members in a diverse, energetic workplace; and a company dedicated to your success, growth, and advancement.
At Aspire, we believe that the customer journey is at the heart of our success. Our Commercial Team is committed to engaging with new customers, ensuring their seamless onboarding experience, and growing our existing customers by building strategic long-term relationships. By offering personalized support and tailored solutions, our Commercial team empowers customers to fully leverage the power of Aspire and achieve their business goals.
